Chapter 1096: Pre-War Meeting
With the enclave blocked off on all fronts, the atmosphere in the war zone became tense and deadly.
Xu Shu formulated several sets of lineups and battle plans, but due to the lack of sufficient opponent information, the territory did not announce the list for a long time. The accurate information is only clear to Yu Buzhi and Xu Shu, and all the troops that may go to battle are silently preparing and waiting for the upcoming decisive battle. Until then, Xu Shu was still trying to observe his opponent in various ways, gather intelligence, and adjust his own plans accordingly.
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
On the eve of the decisive battle, a pre-war meeting was held in the enclave office.
Xu Shu's expression was serious: "We haven't found anything strange about the Qiang people so far, but they dare to challenge, it's the biggest weirdness, and we can't take it lightly." I will explain to you in detail the information I have gathered and the analysis conclusions of the intelligence center, and if you don't understand, you can ask. Tonight, we will decide on the troops and the battle plan. β
No one has any objections.
The time is very tight, but the Zhulu Army has excellent military literacy and rich combat experience, and there is basically no running-in problem, which is the strong strength and confidence that only the elite of a hundred battles will have.
As Xu Shu said just now, the fact that the Qiang people dared to find the Zhulu Army to fight alone is the biggest weirdness in itself. The territory has been trying to find the support behind the Qiang people's move, but unfortunately it has not been able to do so, which means that there are likely to be unexpected variables. The deer army is brave and fearless, but there is no problem with no one in sight, and the war is related to the life and death of the soldiers, at least the officers and soldiers in the army will not be naΓ―ve to think that the Qiang people deliberately want to lose.
The intelligence center led by Xu Shu failed to find any clues, so it had to rely more on collective efforts.
"Based on my feelings during the negotiation and repeated temptations, the Qiang people are concerned about the following points: 1. The scale of the battle; 2. Whether the mount can be dispatched; 3. Forbidden Divine Power; 4. Mercenaries are forbidden, and the headquarters fights. β
"Let's talk about the first point first, the scale of the battle."
"At first, I deliberately talked about it in a small way, suggesting that one or two hundred people should fight on a large scale to reduce the casualties in the battle, which is also in line with the original intention of the lord and the king of Qiang to shed less blood. But Yuyu objected, on the grounds that many tribes came, and the warriors of the various tribes enthusiastically asked for battle, and the scale of the battle was too small, which was equivalent to depriving the warriors of the various tribes of the right to fight for honor, and it would also make this decisive battle, which is likely to go down in the history books, look more like child's play......"
According to Xu Shu's account, he and Yuyu repeatedly fought over the number of people participating in the battle, first trying to reduce the number of fighters, and then pretending to be provoked, and on the basis of the Qiang people's desired plan, he demanded a significant increase in the number of participants on both sides. Yuyu is already a rare "Zhihan faction" in the plateau Qiang, and his experience is not bad, but playing with king-level strategists, Yuyu is obviously still far behind, and after a few rounds, Xu Shu easily figured out the bottom line.
Xu Shu continued: "Judging from the size of the troops participating in the battle, I judge that the Qiang people should send formed troops, rather than temporarily recruiting warriors from various tribes to form them. Yuyu said that during the negotiations, there was a suspicion of misleading us, and that is what I feared. All the information shows that the Qiang people are all soldiers, but there are no professional soldiers, let alone a force of 1,500 people......"
"Conclusion: The enemy we are facing is certainly not a rabble, and everyone must be mentally prepared."
Everyone nodded.
"Number two, whether you can use the mount."
"This question Qiang people want to mix up, and when I took the initiative to bring it up, Yuyu was a little surprised and flustered. Gao Yuan Qiang has always fought with us, and it has always been a foot fight, so he is lucky and hopes that we will ignore this problem. My original intention was to worry that they would sacrifice the fire bull array again during the war, but during the negotiation, I found that Yuyu had been secretive and didn't want to talk too much about related topics, so I stabbed him a few more times......"
"Result of the negotiations: Livestock are allowed to fight, but they must enter the battlefield in the form of mounts."
"Conclusion: our opponents are most likely not infantry, but cavalry."
"Combined with point 1, the Qiang have 1,500 professional cavalry? I'm skeptical, but the intelligence is so. β
None of those who were eligible to participate in the pre-war conference were military laymen, and the maintenance costs were very different from those of the infantry and cavalry of the formation, and they were not of an order of magnitude at all. With the structure and operation mode of the Qiang ethnic group on the plateau, it is difficult to have a professional foot soldier with a scale of 1,500 people, let alone cavalry. Besides, raising soldiers is used, and a professional cavalry costs a lot of money, and it must prove its worth on the battlefield, so that no one has heard of it.
Chen Zhi raised his hand: "Or a newly formed unit." β
Xu Shu asked rhetorically: "A unit that has never proven its value on the battlefield, why should it challenge Bai Yu?" β
Chen Zhi frowned, it was indeed unreasonable.
The Bai Yu soldiers are the trump cards of the Zhulu Army, stationed in the enclave, and even the Qiang people's fire bull array was forcibly broken by Bai Yu, killing the Qiang people in fear. The Qiang people should think that there is no reason why the deer leader should not send Bai Yu in the decisive battle, and Bai Yu's super long spear will not suffer against the cavalry, what is the idea of the Qiang people?
"Just the Qiang people's three-legged cat kung fu, go up and knock them down three or two times, why do you want to do so much! In my opinion, without the help of the Bai Yu Soldiers, it is enough for our Qinggu tribe, and the name of the 'Divine Soldier' is not boasted! The adults rewarded our tribe with the enclave, so let's go up and teach them how to behave! Dujie couldn't help but say.
The Qiang people are the nemesis of the Qiang people, and they are really confident to pinch the Qiang people and rub them round.
Yu Buzhi's face sank: "The Qinggu tribe sent 1,500 warriors? β
Dujie stood up, patted his chest and said: "If you can get half, if you let us go, it's no problem to hit two!" β
"You're mader than anyone else...... Sit down and wait for Yuan Zhi to finish speaking. β
"Oh."
Xu Shu continued.
"Point 3, forbidden divine power."
"This is the one that the Qiang people are most concerned about and insist on."
"Various information shows that the reason why the Qiang people gave up their superiority in strength and suggested a battle with our army to determine the outcome was mainly because they were concerned about our supernatural abilities. In the past, Tom and Rolling killed the three gods they had summoned, which dealt a very big blow to the morale of the Qiang people, and Tom was even more uneasy after Tom manifested the white tiger in the camp. β
"The Territory Guardian Beasts can't participate in the war, and at the same time, there are also melon soldiers who are restricted, and the Qiang people believe that the Mojia Trap Beast and turret and other equipment are all products of divine power, and participating in the war will lead to unfairness. Correspondingly, Qiang shamans cannot participate in the war. The Qiang people hope that the two sides will completely abandon the divine power factor and compete for power with their true abilities. Just now, when Yu Yulai had his last pre-battle communication, he proposed that if Bai Yu soldiers fought on behalf of the deer leader, Bai Yu should be forbidden to use [Absolute Guardian], and I flatly refused to ......"
Yu Buzhi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Yuyu directly said [Absolute Protection]?" β
Xu Shu's face was solemn: "Hmm." β
A cold glint flashed in Yu Buzhi's eyes, and he said, "Our old friend is still so unwilling to be lonely." β
Xu Shu said: "So our battle plan may need to be greatly adjusted. β
β¦β¦
When the pre-war mobilization meeting was held, the Qiang people were not idle.
The big tent of the king of Qiang, the king of Qiang and the patriarchs gathered together.
The king of Qiang is still in the main position, but in the past, when the banquet was held, Yu Buzhi and Jiujiufa were in the position, and there was a player. The player is wearing a black robe, but he is not masked in the tent, and he is the leader of the Avengers Celestial Division codenamed "Sister Xiao", and the former leader of the Lonely Legion.
Liufei looked lonely and annoying, and asked: "Han people, this matter is big, let the old man say more." Is the invincibility of the spearman really not a divine power? And it only lasts 30 seconds? β
Loneliness is annoying: "It's true. The White Soldier is a special class, very strong, and [Absolute Protection] is a special legion skill of the White Soldier, a special move to press the bottom of the box, consuming 20% of the strength, invincible for 30 seconds, and cooling down for up to 3 hours. Well, as you are used to, you can only use it once a day. β
King Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "That's good." If tomorrow our army wins, it will be rewarded. β
Loneliness makes people shake their heads: "I said a long time ago that it is a voluntary help and does not need to be reciprocated." If the king really wants to thank me, let your family kill as many enemies as possible, and it is best to destroy them all! If you can wipe it out, it will be difficult to recover from the losses of the deer army, and it is likely that it will be slumped from then on, and it will be difficult to covet the high origin in the future. β
King Qiang smiled with his beard: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." β
From beginning to end, the two did not discuss "whether the Qiang people can win", in their opinion, there is no need to discuss.
β¦β¦
Enclave office.
"Point 4, mercenaries are forbidden, and the headquarters must fight."
"The Qiang people said that this battle is a matter of chasing the deer and the Qiang people, and outsiders should not be involved, we have no opinion, the battle of more than a thousand people, we don't need to hire mercenaries to help, the focus of the dispute here is the Qinggu tribe. The Qiang people thought that the Qinggu tribe was a thief, and they were used to being professional mercenaries, and demanded that the Qinggu tribe be deprived of the right to participate in the war......"
"Why?" The festival was furious.
"Calm down." Xu Shu glanced at Dujie and said: "I told Yuyu that the Qinggu tribe is a member of the Zhulu Leader, has the number of the Divine Battalion, has an establishment in the Zhulu Army, and the lord has given them the enclave, no matter from what point of view, there is no doubt about the qualifications of the Qinggu tribe to participate in the war." Yuyu's request was unreasonable. I didn't let go of the negotiation many times, and finally the Qiang King made a concession and no longer insisted on the request, but the Qiang people knew that we still had the Hongshu army, and hoped that we would promise not to temporarily let the Hongshu tribesmen enter the enclave. β
Du turned his anger into joy and said, "Look, I will say that the Qiang people are afraid of us!" They want to avoid fighting us, and the more the Qiang people are like this, the more it shows the necessity of our participation in the war. β
Yu Buzhi frowned: "If you talk more, you will be disqualified from participating in the war." β
Festival: "......"
Xu Shu: "That's the general situation. β
"We have never figured out the hole cards of the Qiang people, and it is difficult to make targeted arrangements in advance. In tomorrow's battle, I can only form a team that can cope with various situations and has the highest margin of error on the battlefield. This battle is not only about the survival of the enclave, but also about the territory of the Han Dynasty, but also about the reputation and dignity of the Zhulu Army. β
Everyone agreed: "Understood! β
Yu Buzhi instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Xu Shu is good at everything, very loyal to himself, and has a Han family, but he is too sincere.
Would you rather die?
How can that work!
Xu Shu as the commander, the characteristics of the generals are of great help to the troops, and he will definitely fight tomorrow, with the understanding of him with the unwisdom of the fish, this is not a joke, Xu Shu will really take everyone to fight hard. He is the commander-in-chief, and in the tradition of chasing the deer army, if Xu Shu is determined to fight to the death, no one can stop it, and in extreme cases, it is likely that the entire army will be wiped out.
"Wait a minute."
Yu Buzhi coughed lightly: "Tomorrow I will come to the battlefield in person, even if I can't kill the enemy, just to cheer for you." β
